7 Ways to Safely Celebrate<br />Memorial Day at Home As the United States continues to deal with the<br />COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Memorial Day will <br />look different than it has in previous years. Typical activities such as large gatherings<br />and barbecues will likely not happen as social<br />distancing rules still remain in effect. Here are seven ways for you and your family<br />to safely celebrate Memorial Day at home. 1. Get some chalk and take to your driveway or a<br />nearby walkway to create some patriotic-themed art. 2. Even though you can’t have your<br />usual gathering, take the time to decorate<br />your home with red, white and blue. 3. Hang an American flag outside of your<br />home as a public tribute to the men and<br />women who died while serving. 4. Give recognition to fallen veterans by donating to<br />an organization that puts flowers on their graves. 5. If you know someone who served or you<br />want to make a general thank you statement,<br />post a tribute to your social media accounts. 6. Watch the yearly National Memorial Day<br />Concert, which will be streaming at 8 p.m. on PBS. 7. Listen to service members, veterans and<br />their families tell stories of their experiences<br />through the Military Voices Initiative.
